Objective:To evaluate the role of exosomes in propofol-induced elimination of cardioprotective effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in rats.Methods:This experiment was performed in 2 parts. In vivo experiment Forty-eight healthy SPF male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 250-300 g, were divided into 5 groups using the random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group, n=12), ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) group ( n=12), RIPC group ( n=8), RIPC+ propofol group (RIPC+ P group, n=8), and propofol+ I/R group (P+ I/R group, n=8). The model of myocardial I/R injury was developed by ligating the left anterior descending branch of coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120 min reperfusion in anesthetized animals. Four cycles of 5-min ischemia induced by occlusion of the bilateral hind limbs with a tourniquet/5-min reperfusion served as the RIPC stimulus. Propofol was intravenously infused at a rate of 12 mg·kg -1·h -1 in RIPC+ P group (during RIPC) and in P+ I/R group (for 40 min). Exosomes from RIPC-treated and RIPC+ propofol-treated rats were extracted (RIPC-EXO and RIPC+ P-EXO respectively) for determination of the expression of surface markers of exosomes CD9 and HSP70. Another 24 rats were randomly selected, and the aforementioned exosomes were injected at 15 min before myocardial ischemia, resulting in RIPC-EXO+ I/R group ( n=12) and RIPC+ P-EXO+ I/R group ( n=12). At the end of reperfusion, the area of myocardial infarction was determined, the concentration of serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) was measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) in myocardial tissues was detected by Western blot. Cell experiment H9c2 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into 4 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table method: control group (C group), hypoxia-reoxygenation group (H/R group), RIPC-EXOc group and RIPC+ P-EXOc group. The cells were exposed to hypoxia for 4 h followed by reoxygenation for 16 h in H/R group. RIPC-EXO and RIPC+ P-EXO were added at a final concentration of 300 μg/ml before hypoxia in RIPC-EXOc group and RIPC+ P-EXOc group, respectively. The cell viability was determined using a cell counting kit-8 assay and the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 expression was detected by Western blot. Results:In vivo experiment Compared with RIPC-EXO group, the expression of CD9 and HSP70 was significantly down-regulated in RIPC+ P-EXO group ( P<0.05). Compared with Sham group, the percentage of the area of myocardial infarction was significantly increased, and the serum cTnI concentration and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in myocardial tissues were increased in I/R group ( P<0.05). Compared with I/R group, the percentage of the area of myocardial infarction was significantly decreased in RIPC group and RIPC-EXO+ I/R group, the serum cTnI concentration and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in myocardial tissues were significantly decreased in RIPC-EXO+ I/R group ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the percentage of the area of myocardial infarction in RIPC+ P group ( P>0.05). The percentage of the area of myocardial infarction was significantly larger in RIPC+ P group than in RIPC group ( P<0.05). Compared with RIPC-EXO+ I/R group, the percentage of the area of myocardial infarction was significantly increased, and the serum cTnI concentration and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio were increased in RIPC+ P-EXO+ I/R group ( P<0.05). Cell experiment Compared with C group, the cell viability was significantly decreased, and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio was increased in H/R group ( P<0.05). Compared with H/R group, the cell viability was significantly increased, and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio was decreased in RIPC-EXOc group ( P<0.05). Compared with RIPC+ EXOc group, the cell viability was significantly decreased, and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio was increased in RIPC+ P-EXOc group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Propofol may abolish the myocardial protective effect of RIPC by decreasing the production and release of serum exosomes in rats.

Objective:To evaluate the role of exosomes in reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury (MIRI) by remote preconditioning of trauma (RPCT) in rats.Methods:This experiment was performed in 2 parts. In vivo experiment Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8 weeks, weighing 250-300 g, were used. Six rats were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups ( n=3 each): control group and RPCT group. Rats in control group underwent thoracotomy only, while rats in RPCT group were subjected to an additional 4 cm transverse skin incision along the abdominal midline after thoracotomy. Blood samples were collected, and serum exosomes were isolated from blood samples and labeled as control exosomes and RPCT exosomes. The expression of exosomal surface marker proteins CD9 and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) was determined by Western blot, and the serum exosome concentration was measured. Another 30 rats were selected and randomly assigned to 5 groups ( n=6 each): sham operation group (Sham group), I/R group, I/R+ RPCT group, I/R+ control exosomes group (I/R+ EXO-CON group), and I/R+ RPCT exosomes group (I/R+ EXO-RPCT group). The MIRI model was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120 min of reperfusion in anesthetized animals. In I/R+ RPCT group, the MIRI model was prepared at 15 min after the end of RPCT. In I/R+ EXO-CON and I/R+ EXO-RPCT groups, control exosomes and RPCT exosomes 100 μg were administered via the jugular vein at 15 min before ischemia respectively. At the end of reperfusion, the myocardial infarct size was measured, serum concentrations of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were determined, and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in myocardial tissues were measured. The expression of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-3 was detected. In vitro experiment H9c2 cells were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into 4 groups ( n=6 each): control group (Con group), hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) group, H/R+ control exosomes group (H/R+ EXO-CON group), and H/R+ RPCT exosomes group (H/R+ EXO-RPCT group). The rats were subjected to 4 h of hypoxia followed by 16 h of reoxygenation to establish the H/R injury model. In H/R+ EXO-CON and H/R+ EXO-RPCT groups, control exosomes and RPCT exosomes 4 μg were added at 15 min before hypoxia respectively. The cell survival rate and concentration of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the supernatant were measured, and the expression of Bax, Bcl-2, cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-3 was detected. Results:In vivo experiment Compared with control group, the expression of serum CD9 and HSP70 was significantly up-regulated, and the exosome concentration was increased in RPCT group ( P<0.05). Compared with Sham group, the serum concentrations of cTnT and LDH, percentage of myocardial infarct size, content of MDA in myocardial tissues, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 ratio were significantly increased, and the activity of SOD was decreased in I/R group ( P<0.05). Compared with I/R group, the serum cTnT and LDH concentrations, percentage of myocardial infarct size, content of MDA in myocardial tissues, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 ratio were significantly decreased, and the activity of SOD was increased in I/R+ RPCT group ( P<0.05), and no significant changes were observed in the aforementioned parameters in I/R+ EXO-CON group ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the aforementioned parameters between I/R+ RPCT group and I/R+ EXO-RPCT group ( P>0.05). In vitro experiment Compared with Con group, the cell survival rate was significantly decreased, and the LDH concentration in the supernatant and Bax/Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 ratios were increased in H/R group ( P<0.05). Compared with H/R group, the cell survival rate was significantly increased, the LDH concentration in the supernatant, and Bax/Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 ratios were decreased in H/R+ EXO-CON group ( P<0.05), and no significant changes were found in the aforementioned parameters in H/R+ EXO-RPCT group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which RPCT reduces MIRI may be related to the increased release of serum exosomes in rats.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of obesity factor on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and the role of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) expression in mice.Methods:Twenty-four SPF healthy male C57BL/6J mice, aged 6-7 weeks, weighing 18-21 g, were divided into 2 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table method: common diet group (CD group) and high fat diet group (HFD group). CD group was fed a common diet and HFD group was fed a high-fat diet supplied with 60% fat for 12 weeks, and the body weight of mice was recorded every week. The mice in CD group were then divided into 2 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table method: CD+ solvent group (CD+ C group) and CD+ TRPA1 agonist allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) group (CD+ A group). The mice in group HFD were divided into 2 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table method: HFD+ solvent group (HFD+ C group) and HFD+ AITC group (HFD+ A group). At 13th week, AITC 25 mg·kg -1·d -1 was intragastrically administered based on the original diet in CD+ A group and HFD+ A group, and the equal volume of solvent was given in CD+ C and HFD+ C groups. At 14th week, myocardial I/R injury was established by occlusion of the left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120-min reperfusion. The body weight, epididymal fat, mesenteric fat and perirenal fat were recorded, and the levels of LDH, triglyceride and cholesterol in serum were determined. The percentage of myocardial infarct size was calculated. The expression of TRPA1, Bax and Bcl-2 was detected by Western blot, and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 was calculated. Results:Compared with CD+ C group, the expression of TRPA1 in myocardial tissues was significantly up-regulated ( P<0.05), and no significant differences were found in the other parameters in CD+ A group ( P>0.05), and the concentrations of serum triglyceride and cholesterol, body weight, weight of epididymal fat, mesenteric fat, perirenal fat and percentage of myocardial infarct size were significantly increased, the expression of TRPA1 in myocardial tissues was down-regulated, and the concentration of LDH and ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 were increased in HFD+ C group ( P<0.05). Compared with HFD+ C group, the concentrations of serum triglyceride and cholesterol, body weight, weight of epididymal fat, mesenteric fat, perirenal fat and percentage of myocardial infarct size were significantly decreased, the expression of TRPA1 in myocardial tissues was up-regulated, and the concentration of LDH and ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 were decreased in HFD+ A group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Obesity can aggravate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice, and the down-regulated myocardial TRPA1 expression is involved in this process.

Objective:To investigate the genetic subtypes and drug resistance monitoring of newly reported human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection/AIDS virus in Anhui Province from 2020 to 2023.Methods:An observational design study was used to collect blood samples from patients diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in the AIDS Prevention and Control Department of Anhui Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention from January 2020 to December 2023.The HIV-1 pol gene was amplified by reverse transcription-nested PCR, and the genetic subtypes were identified by phylogenetic tree analysis using MEGA 7.0 software. The mutation sites of drug resistance were analyzed by the online software tool of Stanford University′s HIV Drug resistance database. The influencing factors of drug resistance before treatment were analyzed by multivariate logistic analysis.Results:A total of 335 plasma samples were collected, and 332 HIV-1 pol gene sequences were obtained successfully. The main gene subtypes were CRF01-AE, accounting for 35.55% (118/332), followed by CRF07-BC, B and B+C types [29.22% (97/332), 11.74% (39/332), 9.93% (33/332)]. The total drug resistance rate before treatment was 30.12%(32/100), and the drug resistance rate of protease inhibitor (PIs) in HIV-1 was 6.33% (21/332). The drug resistance rate of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) before treatment was 6.33% (21/332). The drug resistance rate of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) before treatment was 17.47% (58/332).The comparison of drug resistance rate of different drug types showed statistical significance ( χ2=30.435, P<0.05).Among the 100 cases of drug resistance, the main mutation point of HIV-1 protease inhibitor was Q58E (21.00%), and the main mutation point of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor was M184V/I (6.00%). Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistance mutation points mainly K103N (22.00%).There were statistically significant differences in the starting time of antiviral therapy, the number of CD4 +T cells at baseline and the drug resistance rate of gene subtypes (the chi-square values are respectively 24.152, 32.516, 11.652, P<0.05).Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the baseline CD4 +T cell count was <200/μl, subtype B, subtype B+C, CRF01-AE subtype, CRF55-01B subtype and 01-BC subtype was the influential factor of drug resistance before treatment (the chi-square values are respectively 4.577, 8.202, 4.416, 5.206, 7.603 and 4.804, P<0.05). Conclusion:The newly reported HIV/AIDS population in Anhui Province from 2020 to 2023 has a variety of viral gene subtypes, and NNRTIs are the main types of drug resistance gene mutations before treatment. Attention should be paid to the number of baseline CD4 +T cells, the duration of antiviral treatment, and the distribution of gene subtypes to reduce the drug resistance of HIV/AIDS patients before treatment.

MethodFifty-six male SD rats were randomly assigned into normal group, model group, natural recovery group, Aurantii Fructus Immaturus group, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma group, Aurantii Fructus Immaturus combined with Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma group, and mosapride group, with 8 rats in each group. Slow transit constipation model was established by gavage with loperamide (3 mg·kg-1·d-1) for 14 days in other groups except the normal group. After successful modeling, except that the model group was continuously induced by loperamide, the normal group and the natural recovery group were administrated with 0.9% normal saline by gavage, and the rats in the Aurantii Fructus Immaturus (1.35 g·kg-1·d-1) group, the Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (2.7 g·kg-1·d-1) group, the Aurantii Fructus Immaturus combined with Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (4.05 g·kg-1·d-1) group, and the mosapride (1.56 mg·kg-1·d-1) group were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage for 7 days. The amount of feces, fecal water content, and intestinal propulsion rate of rats were determined. The pathological changes of the colon were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Alcian blue-periodic acid-Schiff (AB-PAS) staining. The activity of respiratory chain complex and the ultrastructure of the colon tissue were determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry and observed by transmission electron microscopy, respectively. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) was employed to determine the mRNA levels of PINK1, Parkin, and p62, and Western blot to determine the protein levels of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), PINK1, and Parkin. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group and the natural recovery group showed decreases in the amount of feces, fecal water content, intestinal propulsion rate (P<0.05,P<0.01), and activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ in the colon tissue (P<0.05,P<0.01). Further, the mRNA levels of PINK1 and Parkin and the protein levels of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3 were up-regulated (P<0.01) and the mRNA level of p62 was down-regulated in the model group (P<0.05) and the natural recovery group. Compared with the model group and the natural recovery group, the Aurantii Fructus Immaturus combined with Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma group showed increased amount of feces, fecal water content, intestinal propulsion rate, and activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ (P<0.05,P<0.01). Moreover, the combination meliorated the degree of mitochondrial swelling in the colon tissue, down-regulated the mRNA levels of PINK1 and Parkin and the protein levels of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3 (P<0.05,P<0.01), and up-regulated the mRNA level of p62 (P<0.05). ConclusionAurantii Fructus Immaturus and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, and their combination may remedy the colonic motility disorders in rats with slow transit constipation by blocking PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway to inhibit the excessive mitophagy in interstitial cells of Cajal in the colon tissue.

Objective:To analyze the trend of late-diagnosis of HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) before and after the AIDS Conquering Project in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi) and its influencing factors, in order to find out the population groups that need priority intervention at the present stage.Methods:The HIV-infected MSM in Guangxi from 2005-2021 were selected from the National Integrated HIV/AIDS Control and Prevention Data System. The Joinpoint 4.9.1.0 software was used to test the time trend of late-diagnosis and non-late-diagnosis cases, and logistic regression was applied to analyze the factors influencing the proportion of late-diagnosis at each stage.Results:From 2005 to 2021, 5 764 HIV-infected MSM were reported in Guangxi from 2005 to 2021, with an overall late-diagnosis of 28.45% (1 640 cases). Under the 2015 baseline data as the boundary, the proportion of late-diagnosis cases showed a trend of sharp decline followed by stabilization from 2005 to 2015, average annual percent change= -6.90% ( P<0.001). The effect of factors such as resident population, occupation as a farmer or worker, and sample originating from medical consultation on late-diagnosis changed considerably before and after the implementation of the project, and the factors influencing late-diagnosis at this stage were age, resident population, occupation as a farmer, worker or student. The factors influencing late-diagnosis at this stage are age, resident population, and occupation as a farmer, worker and a student. Conclusions:The proportion of late diagnosis cases of HIV-infected MSM in Guangxi decreased significantly before and after the project. However, late-diagnosis should not be neglected and precise prevention and control should be carried out for the resident population, farmers, workers or students.
